Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering during winter months when the plant is less active.
Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent excess moisture accumulation.
Prune lightly in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
Pinching back the tips of young shoots can promote a more compact form.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Maintain high humidity and warmth until roots form, which can take several weeks.
Keep out of direct sunlight.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
Handle the roots gently to minimize stress and shock during the process.
